Deep Blue DVD

Deep Blue is a major documentary feature film shot by the BBC Natural History Unit, the same team that, together with Discovery, produced the acclaimed BBC series "The Blue Planet". An epic cinematic rollercoaster ride for all ages, Deep Blue uses amazing footage to tell the story of our oceans and the life they support.
Even though the sea constitutes two-thirds of our planet, we know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the deep oceans. From the vast open stretches of the ocean to the deepest chasms, Deep Blue reveals the sea and its communities at their most enchanting, alluring and fierce. Directors Alastair Fothergill and Andy Byatt assembled 20 specialised camera teams, shot over 7,000 hours of footage in more than 200 locations around the world for more than 5 years, and descended as far as 5,000 metres in the most powerful submersible crafts. New species of ocean dwellers were discovered and many filmed for the first time ever.
Deep Blue combines the most captivating images and stunning sequences from The Blue Planet with new and unseen footage to create an unforgettable experience. With a new orchestral score composed by five-time Oscar nominee George Fenton (Gandhi, Cry Freedom) and recorded by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and narration from Sir Michael Gambon, Deep Blue is an eye-opening look at a world we barely know.
